We expect that delivery of the mortgage bonds offered hereby will be made against payment therefor on or about February 27, 2025, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the mortgage bonds (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the mortgage bonds on the initial pricing date of the mortgage bonds or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the mortgage bonds initially will settle in T+3, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
